i I -~ kytt„ aijitYl7l - - numbers. The south-western counties expenepeed a high rate of mortality; and the deaths were 11,678 in a population of 1,835,714 in 1861. The west midland counties suffered variously ; Staffordshire and Shropshire less proportionately from cold than the neighbouring counties. The north midland counties' experienced a medium rate of mortality ; the deaths were 7,073 in the winter quarter of 1862, and 1468 in that of 1864. The annual rate in the last winter was 25 . 84 per 1,000. The rate of the north- • western counties, Cheshire and Lancashire,was 30'97 per 1,000. The mortality cf the counties which are now suffering from the cotton crisis has always been higher than the mortality of the rest cf the kingdom, owing chiefly to the sanitary defects of the taut , . It appfars in the last report of the Central Exccutiv e Committee for relief of the distressed distrim-i, that the number of pereons employed in the mills full time has increased from 210,739 in Jan. last to 232,307 in Marsh. The report adds, that a largo nutuber returned as out of work, are in fact eerni7ig considerable though irregular wages on out-dc or labour. There are some places in which the rel iof committees have suspended their operations without risk to the health of the population; and out of 172 districts reported on there are only 101 in which voluntary funds are now distributed, Still there are many unions in which the distress of the urtem ployed has been but very slightly mitigated. _ e r THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY.- The Half-Yearly Interest Warrants till Lady-Day are mow Payable at the Office, No. 33, Norfolk-street, Strand, between ten and four.

After rounding the 'Workhouse turn Crisis, who had been in possession of a slight lead, gave way, and Fisherman's Daughter took a clear lead of Syren, who at an interval of a couple of lengths was followed by Crisis, the rest being in a compact body with Solon at the tail. Along the Dee side Solon went to the front, and with Castle Hill, Greville, Cutaway, and Crisis came into the straight, where Castle Hill gave way, and Solon was shortly afterwards headed by Greville, who came away from the half-distance and won by a length ; a similar distance separated the second and third ; a bad fourth. Castle Hill was fifth, and Syren and Fisherman's Daughter, pulling up, were next.

Although Liverpool enjoys an immense export and import trade, and is the port through which the valuable manufac tures f Lancashire and Yorkshire wise, it h.is not a single Bank connected w,th the Mediterranean, the East Indies, China, or Australia. The exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures to the above countries for the year 1863 amounted to about forty millions, and by far the greater portion was shipped from Liverpool, whilst the produce received in return into Liverpool was of a va ue of upwards of sixty millions, making a total of one hundred millions sterling. Whilst London has upwards of fifty Banks, with branches in different countries, established for the purpose of affording every facility in Exchange transactions, there is no Bulk of this description, with its head-quarters in Liverpool, con nected with the East. The urofitable nature of Exchange business is we'l known, and the practice which has become so general of attaching Bills of Lading to Bills of Exchange renders this the safest description of Banking business. Some evidence of the safety and profi table character of the business is afforded by the present values of the undertnen ticned Banks, whose chief sources of profits are in col.nection with Exchange operations, Paid up Present per Share.

The Eastern Exchange Bank (Limited', will have its head luarters in Liverpool. Branch Banks will be E.,rmed, in the first instance, at Alexandria, Bombay, Calcutta, China, and Australia, and as the business develops, at other places. The Directors of the Eastern Exchange Bank will make arrangements for London business, constituting a first-c'als London Banking Agency on mutually advantageous terms. 'I he business of the Bank will chiefly consist in negotiating mercantile bills of exchange, granting drafts, in negotiating and collecting bi is payable at places where the Bank has Branches or Agencies. It will issue circular notes and let ters of credit, will undertake the purchase and sale of secu rities, the receipt of dividends, and eff,ct remittances between the several places, including London, at which its Agencies and Branches will be established. The Bank is founded under "The Companies Act, 1e62," whereby the respecive liability of each Shareholder is limited to the amount of his Shares. There will be no fee f ir promotion; the remuneration of the Directors will be fixed by the Shareholders at each annual meeting ; and the preliminary expenses will be con fin lel to indispensable outlay. The Articles of Association lie at the Office of the Solicitors for inspection. Applications for Shares must be accompanied with a Banker's Receipt for £1 per Share. In case the amount so paid should exceed £3 Per Share on the number of Shares allotted, the surplus will be returned ; but it it should fall short, the balance must be paid within seven days after notice of allotment, or in default, the allot ment will be cancelled and the deposit forfeited. If no allotment be made the deposit will be returned in full. Applications for Shares may be sent through the Solicitors or Brokers of the Company, from whom Forms of Application may be had.

The weather was again unfavourable, heavy rain falling during the early portion of the afternoon. The card com menced the Dee Stakes and the Marquis of Westminster's Plate as the special items, the non-appearance of the Derby favourite, Blair Athol, detracting considerably from the in terest taken in the Dee Stakes, Mr, Hughes did not win the large stake reported on the flush of victory, his 4, yearling's" success in the Chester Cup crediting him with some sixteen thousand pounds ; whilst Mr J. B. Morris, and the usual followers of the Epsom stable, threw in for large stakes. A quarter of an hour prior to the run ning of the Dee Stakes the weather took up and remained fine and warm. The Dee Stand Cup, appointed for 1.45, was the first race, and broughtiout three of the four en tered; Lord Bateman, who started two, declared to win with Moulsey. His lordship's horse was made favourite and w by half a l eng th, eas ily. Fi ve f rom theeleven thoughupon the only stripped for the three-quarter of a mile handicap, for which Crythei a an d P ersuas i on were the only two earnestly supported. Th e l atter ma d e play eards th ro ughout and won by a length, th oug h the result might have been widely different had the jockeys been reversed on the first two, The Dee Stakes produced eight runners, and as usual, was won by an "outsider," the Northern Le viathan's horse gamely landing the bookmaker's money, 10 to 1 and 100 to 8 b e ing the starting price of Greville, the winner. The three entered in the five furlongs Sweep stakes, was easily won by Jack Jukes. The betting upon her Majesty's Plate was of a heavy description, and the success of the Vacuna colt was hailed with enthusiastic cheering by the bookmakers and the supporters of :the Middleham horse. Only four ran for the Marquis of West minster's Plate, for which Lady de Trafford, who was beaten off in the Wynnstay Handicap on Tuesday, was the fovourite ; but the public " form" displayed by Windham induced many to support him, and their judgment was re warded by his clever victory.

Eyre, commanding the troops in the Chatham district, commenced his half-yearly inspection of the Royal Artillery, under the command of Colonel C. J. B. Riddell, C. 8., consisting of the first division of the depot brigade. The officers and men were drawn up within the for tification at headquarters. In the course of his in spection, General Eyre witnessed the various bat teries go through the customary manoeuvres, and afterwards inspected the barrack-buildings, schools, institute, hospitals, and the other military establish • ments. The number of men of the Royal Artillery at headquarters is now very strong, in anticipation of a large demand being made for reinforcements for India and the colonies. The half-yearly inspection of the pensioners, in mates of the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, took place yesterday morning. In the absence of the Governor, Field Marshal Sir E. Blakeney, G.C.8., who is still suffering from impaired health, Gen. Sir A. Wood ford, G.C.8., the lieutenant-governor, inspected the pensioners. About 500 of the veterans assembled for inspection, and they passed muster to the entire satisfaction of the lieutenant-governor. Quarterly Return of Marriages, Births, and Deaths, The quarterly return, just issued by authority of the Registrar-General, comprises the births and deaths registered by 2,000 registrars in all the dis tricts of England during the winter quarter ended March 31, 1861 ; and the marriages in 12,653 churches or chapels, about 4,951 registered plze?s of worship unconnected with the Established Church, and 641 superintendent registrars' offices in the quarter ending Dec. 31, 1863. With an increas ing population, the number of marriages was greater than it had been before in any quarter. The mar riage rate—that is, the proportion of persons mar ried to population—was high, though in some pre vious instances it had been higher. The registration of births was extraordinary, as not only were the births more numerous than at any former period, bat relatively to population they were also nume rous beyond example during the last 10 years. As regards deaths, an unusually high rate of mortality attests the severity with which the inclemency of the weather pressed on the public health. MARRIAGES.—In the December quarter of 1863 the marriages were 51,974. They were about 3,000 more than hey had been in the corresponding quar ter of 1861 or in that of 1862. The populous districts of the cotton and woollen manufactures, as well as those of coal and iron, showed increased activity in nuptial celebrations, the result of increased or con tinned animation in their respective branches of in• dustry. In Staffordshire the marriages rose from 2,009 and 1,955 in the December quarters of 1861-2 to 2,291 in that of 1863 ; in Lancashire from 6,078 end 5,362 to 6,503 ; in the West Riding of York shire from 3,809 and 3,800 to 4,279; in South Wales from 1,695 and 1,771 to 1,827. In England and Wales about 8,000 persons entered into wedlock weekly. In London the number was about I t 2oo. The marriages in 1863 were 173,388. The marriage rate of the past year was I'6BB, against an average of 1.661. BlRTus.—The total number of births was 192,926 in the first quarter of the present year, of which 26,651 were in London. There was an increase on the number registered in the same period of 1863 in all the eleven divisions, except London and the south-western counties. The number rose in the north-western counties (Cheshire and Lancashire) from 28,734 to 30,011. The annual birth• rate in the quarter was 3.740 per cent., against an average of 3.005. It was singularly high, for of results obtained in the oevious 10 years the highest was 3.702 in the June quartt.'.r of 1854. The birth rate rarely attains so high a point . 18 3.70 in any quarter, and the ave rage for a year is 3 ' 4 7, As the births were 192,926, and the deaths were 3,030, in the sa me ti me , there was an excess in theformer amounting to 40,806, and representing the natural increase of population in the quarter. EMIGRATION.—The emigration from the United Kingdom comprised about 10,923 English people, 2,175 Scotch, 24,779 Irish, and 3,160 foreigners, altogether 41,037 persons. Of the Irish all, except a section which did not count 3,000, went to the United States. Of the English about 6,614 persons Bought the United States, 3,451 the Australian colo nies. The Scotch divided themselves almost equally between these two destinations. DEATHS AND THE PUBLIC HEALTH.—The deaths greatly exceed the average number. Seldom has a winter been more fatal, fur 143,030 deaths, 1,572 a day, were registered in 91 days, including the additional day of Leap-year, for which due correc tion is made. The mortality was at the rate of 2773 per cent.; whereas the average of the season in the preceding ten years was 2.490 per cent.; thus the rate was nearly 28 instead of 25 in 1,000. 14,698 persons died in excess of the average num ' her. Upon dividing the population into two por tions, the one living in the district comprising the chief towns is found to have experi enced the highest rate of mortality, or 2 . 97 4 pe r cent., while the mortality was at the rate of 2.508 in the small towns and in the country districts. The town rate Was . 9 96, the country rate .228, above their res p ective t districts. ratrtiecls. Was greater i a n ve t r h a e g t eL; a th t uhsanthienthecountry i n crease of the London suffired to an extraordinary extent, and is account able fer a large share in the increase. The average annual rate of the winter quarter in London is 2.577 per cent., but in the last winter quarter the rate becomes 3 088, or .511 above the average. The f use .rals increased in the proportion of five or six. Th e rate of mortality in the south-eastern division was 18 per cent, higher than in the two preceding March quarters. Inflammation or congestion of the lungs mi. the z 74!: tubes catvied off the ::gad in great of it. We have been favoured with the following ex. ;net from a letter dated Cairo, April 19 :—" This has been a remarkable year in Egypt, counting from autumn last, when the murrain was at its height It has not perfectly subsided to this day. The num ber of animals carried off is not precisely and pro.. bably never will be exactly known. The Govern 'ment gave out 900,000, then 600,. JO, and. I fancy they cannot have been less than 400,00'). What.. ever the exact number, the result has been gre« t scarcity of beef, which, causing the mutton to come more into demand, soon so diminished the supply of it that none was to be had on several occasions for three days together. It was discovered at the same time, that is, towards the latter end of the winter, that the stock of grain was very low. The price quickly rose to 250 piastres the ardeb (170—£1), at which price it is now, and this by the econo. mist prices of the 26th March in Mark-lane is just 64 piastres per ardeb dearer than there. Then the vegetables are scanty, cotton having supplanted everything. We had also a very cold winter, the thermometer having marked for some mornings in the latter part of January 10 degrees below freez ing point, and the canals had a good half inch thick of ice on them. This killed nearly ail the burseem, which greatly told on the horses. For a month or two, off and on, we had an excess of Khamseen, though for the last few days it has been cold enough. All these causes combined have developed typhus and smallpox to an extent that the deaths in Cairo, which should not exceed at this season 39 or 40, were five days ago reported to be 120 a day, and the villages are likewise in fected. " The Suez Canal Company have opened a station at Shaloof, 14 kilometres north of Suez. Thither are we taken in a small dhahabeih, partly sailing and partly towed by camels, in two hours on the Sweet Water Canal, which terminates at about three-quarters of a mile from Suez with a sluice-gate, of which the sail is 13 centimetres above the quay of the hotel, reckoned to be 11 mtrs, above the main level of the sea. They are obliged to run off a considerable quantity of water from the sluice, or it would accumulate in the canal and overflow the banks. Indeed, in many places it percolates through the banks and forms large pools along the inner base. But these banks will con solidate in time. The fresh water canal is on a mean of 2+ metres deep, and 26 metres wide at the water line, with slopes of two horizontal to one perpendicular for the banks inside and out, and must be pronounced a complete success. The effect on Suez is already visible. The population, which some years ago was not more than 2,000, is stated to be now 14,000. The walls of the town have disappeared, and long streets are lid out and partly built long. Good ground rear the hotel is worth one Napoleon the square pike of metre, The French Messagerics Company have run off a branch railway from the main line at a point, say half a mile, before it enters the old level of the town, and carried the branch along the back of the town, then along an embankment on the east side of the sandy spit, which embankment is made for about 2,000 metres towards the side on which the dock is being excavated, which, we were told, was 4,500 metres from the beach behind Suez. Of the dock had excavated a hole 50 inches in diame ter and seven metres deep, from which the sea was kept out by the embankment joined by the stuff out of the hole. The soil was for 20 feet clay and sand, then gravel, and at 27 feet they were on it concreted bed, but expected clay again under it. The dock will be 110 metres long, 25 wide, and have a direction W. 23 degs. S. when completed. Quays are to be added at either side of the expanse (towards the port), which will enable ships to come up and load and unload along• side. Around the site of the dock are spaces al. lotted to the Messageries, Peninsular and Oriental, and Mejidich Companies, for erecting warehouses, and I fancy that a large number of buildings will accumulate about the dock and along the sea em bankment. The Messageries have laid their plans very well. Their workshops by the side of the branch railway at the back of the town are on rather a large scale, with at present only one steam hammer, bat with many other machines, and room for additional ones. This is where the railway station should have been, and where our people and the Foreign Office who for 25 years could not get a ship even at Suez, the Messageries are no sooner introduced into the Red Sea than they are allowed to construct a dock after their own idea at a cost to the Viceroy of £280,000, and have lately got an other £70,000 as a compensation for the Egyptian labour they give upon the work. Until the Egyptian Office gives up its idea of influencing the Egyptian Viceroy through moral powers, commer cial interests, &c., we shall be nowhere in Egypt. Let them read the spirit of the East, as given in Bible. Take Solomon to wit—and they will know that all Eastern government and policy is personal. and in the patriarchal spirit, and that nothing is to be got without asking far and taking it. " The railway has fallen into the last stage of disorganisation as to its management, and ruin as to its state and material. It is i m possible to de- scribe the confusion and want of s ystem that pre. nails. One day at the station I found the platform from one end to the other crowded with hajjis and their baggage. I asked one bow long he had been on the platform—he said three days.

As to goods, they are stolen and pitched here and there, and nobody can ever get any information about them. . . . Accidents are beginning to crop up, not to mention the number of unfortunate llows rho are run over without anybody hearing " The iron-clad evidence commission is here. Ismael Pasha won't give evidence on oath, anti his Minister, Sherif Pasha, pretends that he cannot on his conscience swear either, which is rather a n ew Massulman idea. I think, however, that the latter will be brought round."
